Yes, the flavour is more subtle. But I don't ever see the difference so I have whatever's availible. You shouldn't have any more than 6grams of salt a day. If you have too much, it can slowly poison you. I'm only talking about double this amount. For young children, the limit is 5g. A boy was once fed 10 spoons of salt by his foster parents. They're in prison for abuse, or manslaughter or something along those lines because the boy had died, since he was only about three.
